Abstractions

25 Abstractions by artists including Michael Canney, Kathleen Guthrie, Allan Milner, Kenneth Rowntree, John Cecil Stephenson, John Tunnard…

For over a decade Modern British Art Gallery has championed some of the lesser known pioneers and unsung heros of 20th Century British Abstract Art. This includes artists such as Jas Wood and R.A. Wilson, who produced pure abstract pictures a full decade earlier than the official birth of abstract art in Britain. Cecil Stephenson, who exhibited alongside Moore, Hepworth, Nicholson and Hitchens, was credited by Herbert Read as being “. . .one of the earliest artists in the country to develop a completely abstract style.”
